What is it called when a break that occurs in the ankle and affects both bones of the lower leg?

A break that occurs in the ankle and affects both bones of the lower leg is commonly referred to as a "bimalleolar fracture." This type of fracture involves the breaking of the lateral malleolus (fibula) and the medial malleolus (tibia) at the ankle joint. Such injuries often result from traumatic events, like falls or sports injuries, and may require medical intervention for proper healing.
